How to take LPN exam

Published

I took the NCLEX RN last month and didnt pass. Is it possible me to take the NCLEX LPN instead? Or do i need to undergo some programs for LPN first before i qualify to take the test?

LPN is not a consolation prize. Most states require that your graduate practical nursing program to be eligible for the NCLEX. PN You need to contact your State Board of nursing to get the best answer.

Thank u. Am just wondering if I can start working part time as LPN for the mean time while I review for the NCLEX RN. I am from Florida and hope I dont have to do programs for LPN anymore

In order to work as an LPN you need to be licensed as such and pass the NCLEX-PN. NCLEX PN is not easier than NCLEX RN it's a different scope of practice with cross over knowledge
